Automotive HIL Course Overview
The Automotive HIL course will teach you to build, configure, and maintain HIL systems for component (subsystem) level HIL, and how to transition from this setup into system-level HIL. The course covers the major components of the HIL workflow, including system set-up, model and Custom Device integration, vehicle bus protocol fault insertion, residual bus simulation, use of Automotive toolkits, automated testing, debugging, and system management.
